- [on getting in 'Star Trek: The Motion Picture'] I called my service and there was a message to call my agent and my agent said, 'They've offered you the role in Star Trek'.I thought, 'Do I really want to do this? I don't know. I haven't read the script.' And I really, really seriously considered not doing it. I got a call from a woman named Marion Dougherty, who was then head of casting for Paramount and had been, for at least ten years before that, the biggest casting director in the business. Marion knew me from New York. She said, 'Stephen, this is the biggest film Paramount Pictures has ever made and yours is the only new male role in the movie. It cannot hurt you'.
